Colorful Ghasts [Happy Ghast]
by Neni-o
Colorful Ghasts lets players tint vanilla Happy Ghasts by right-clicking them with dye, and the color is kept for each individual ghast.
What it does
Players hold a vanilla dye and right-click a Happy Ghast to apply a tint. Each later dye blends with the color already on the ghast, using a per-channel ARGB average, so repeated dyes produce softer mixed hues. Wet Sponge clears the tint and the ghast can be dyed again from the start.
The number of dyes a single ghast accepts is set by a config file named colorfulghasts.json or .toml, with a maximum that server owners can change. The tint is saved per entity and synced to clients as they start tracking the ghast, so it persists for that ghast. The mod works in singleplayer and multiplayer. It is cosmetic only: AI, stats, damage, spawning and loot stay as they are in vanilla, so it generally works alongside content mods. Fabric and NeoForge builds cover 1.21.6 – 1.21.11.
